Brief Answer: It could be Appendicitis. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting in health care magic. Pain in the right lower side of the abdomen can be due to infection of Appendix or Stone in the Ureter. Ultrasound abdomen will confirm the diagnosis. If you come back with Ultrasound report, I will clarify further. Wish you good health. Regards,
